I am not trying to step on any feet here. I love all chevys I just prefer going to an all Camaro show. Yes it does suck that both events are on the same weekend. With that being said the Camaro Nationals is Thursday-Saturday and I think the GM Nationals is Friday-Sunday? So I may go and check out the GM Nationals on Sunday?

Just putting it out there......... Saturday is the day to be at the GM Nationals (IMO). I'm sure it's probably the same for the Camaro Nationals. Even some of the vendors start packing it up late morning Sunday.

I wish SLP would go back to the GM Nationals, used to enjoy visiting their booth there every year. Not like you can buy something and take it home from the show but I enjoy seeing some of their creations and seeing a look at what they offer.

I have never went to Frederick because we have a lot of non Camaro customers who go to Carlisle.. Also..having it the same weekend kind of rubbed me the wrong way.

I would expect them back this year (not 100% sure). In the past, I have seen them in the Tom Henry booth...so they may have been there last year.

Thanks, but I am already committed to the Camaro Nationals. I still will try to go to GM Nats on Sunday.

I created an account on here just to keep everyone in the loop for the 2013 GM Nationals. SS4fun asked me to post some basic info on here. I'm glad to see so many supportive 5th Gen guys coming out for the show. I just thought I would give you a basic breakdown of the show for this year:

- We are celebrating the 35th anniversary of the Turbo Buick program (1978-2013), so we should have a bunch of Grand Nationals, Turbo Ts, and maybe even a few GNXs

- We have Bobby Allison lined up to come in as a special guest for Saturday. He is doing autographs and pictures

- I am making a really big push for clubs this year, as we need club support to pull off a good show. Here are a few basic guidelines for clubs:

* Club registrations under a common club name (Camaro5.com, Upstate C 5, etc) will put you in the running for a free tent. 25 cars or more = free tent to use for cooking, socializing, etc. Be sure to agree on whatever club name you use, as we will count cars based on the club they register with.

* Clubs will be asked to park their cars in the approriate classes (this makes voting much easier), but they will have their tent placed as close to the cars as possible

* With you being 5th Gens, you will all be in the same area anyway, so there will be little seperation of your member cars

* We welcome any and every GM to the show, so don't be afraid to bring multiple cars

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to post and I will check on here frequently to keep everyone in the loop. I look very forward to meeting everyone this year at the show!

Having all the same model year in one area is a huge bonus, IMO. That was a huge disappointment with the Camaro Nationals in Frederick as I seemed to have no 5th gens parked anywhere near me. If anyone is thinking about getting a Camaro5 group together for the GM Nationals, I'd love to be a part of it.
